Remarks & Notes 
These green boxcars were a common sight for CP trains in the 2000's running across the CP Ontario/Western Canada route. With increased train lengths, and cold temperatures these would recharge the rear portion of the train line. With newer locomotives capable of DPU/locotrol arriving for the next few years, remotes would eventually be placed on 90% of the trains. All off the 900000 series Air Repeater Car's were retired, sold off, and scrapped. These also had rotating amber lights on the roof that are clearly visible.

Do you ever get the feeling as a model railroader, that you just might be creating something not "prototypical?" Same here.
